The Greens are offering a different kind of politics – one that offers a sense of solidarity, camaraderie, and agency in an age of individualism.
Contests like this don’t just give us hope. They make us feel we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.

Venture capital doesn’t just fund tech.
In a new article, @loicriom.bsky.social and I explore venture capitalization: how ideas and technologies are made investable, and how this process fuels tech oligarchy—not just as economic power, but as a force that reshapes culture, values, and truth.
An incredible contribution by @loicriom.bsky.social and @taschn.bsky.social to our Forum on Tech Oligarchy.

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:
i shared this a few months ago but it is certainly worth a second read!!
"... in spite of everything, people are still speaking up, people are still making art, people are still teaching real history, people are still fighting back against the abduction of their neighbors. People still know what it means to feel joy. People still know what it means to be free."
i've had infuriating conversations with people over the last year who sort of roll their eyes at everything happening in the USA, tutting from their high horse, that this stuff could never happen in Britain; a reminder that this is the most popular political party

Is tech oligarchy a proper term to describe the conditions of current-day political economies?
In our latest forum contribution, @ulyssespascal.bsky.social, Cheng Fang, and David Bassens see merit in deploying the concept, but also consider its empirical limits.

What does Epstein’s household economy reveal about the billionaire far-right? Melinda Cooper traces the disturbing logic connecting primal patriarchy, transhumanism, and the rule of masters over servants.

May Labour's Yvette Cooper, the former Home Secretary, be remembered always as the politician who imposed the ban at the behest of Britain's powerful weapons industry, so it could continue to profit from the deliberate massacre of the people of Gaza
Breaking: on two counts, the High Court has ruled that the Labour government's proscription of the campaign group Palestine Action was unlawful – a win for its co-founder Huda Ammori, who sought a judicial review of the ban
